Hello

I was headed here from the start— joined the family band at 4, published my first book at 10 and hosted my first “gallery” opening at 14. Mom took me on weekends to sell handmade soap at the market, Dad dragged me to his thesis defense and asked for my thoughts on the research. I was always going to be a creative thinker.

At the tail end of a Humanities degree, I found myself in a startup accelerator, cooking up, and spinning out my first venture: Body//Talk. For five years, with a team that life-long friends, we reached thousands of lonely Orlando Millennials, helping them put their phones down and connect. We raised money for Bernie Sanders, fueled an NPR change-makers campaign, won partnerships with Pabst Blue Ribbon. We built a community that lasted. See the case study here.
